Lotus is blooming in Bengal because you party has spawned muck in the state: PM Modi at Brigade rally
I have known Didi since ages. She is not the same person who raised her voice against the Left. She speaks someone else's language now & is being controlled, says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a public meeting in Kolkata. Addressing a massive rally at Brigade Parade Ground, PM Modi said "I have had the privilege of addressing hundreds of rallies in political life, but in such a long tenure I have never been blessed with such a large mass group, I have got to witness such a scene today.”


"This land of Bengal has given energy to our values. This land of Bengal burnt new life in the freedom movement of India. This Brigade Parade Ground has been witness to many great leaders and also witnessed those who have disrupted West Bengal's progress. People of Bengal never left their hopes for change,” he added.


In an all out attack on the TMC, PM Modi asserted, "Bengal relied on Mamata didi for change. But Didi and her cadre broke this trust. These people broke the trust of Bengal. These people humiliated Bengal. Here the sisters and daughters were tortured.”


Hitting out at TMC, Left and Congress, the Prime Minister said, “this time in the Assembly elections, on one side there is TMC, Left-Congress, they have anti-Bengal attitude, and on the other hand the people of Bengal have stood up tightly.”


Addressing the huge gathering, he said, “The next 25 years are very important for the development of Bengal. In 2047, when India will celebrate 100 years of independence, Bengal will lead the country once again. The development here in the next 5 years will lay the foundation for State's development in the next 25 years.”


Talking about the BJP’s agenda, the PM remarked, “The dream of 'sonar bangla' will be fulfilled. Today, I have come here today to assure you of Bengal's development, to increase investment here, to protect Bengal's culture and to bring change. I have come to convince you of this Ashol Poriborton. To convince you of the development of Bengal, of changing the situation in Bengal. I have come here to make you believe that we will work hard for farmers, businessmen and the development of sisters and daughters. We will live every moment to fulfill your dreams.”


“Ashol Poriborton means Bengal, where trade and business flourished, where maximum investment came. Ashol Poriborton means Bengal, which has the modern infrastructure of the 21st century,” he further added.

Launching a tirade against the TMC government, PM Modi stated, “Due to their commission culture, many important projects of Kolkata airport are stuck. BJP will stop this and complete those projects. Kolkata is the city of joy. Kolkata also has a legacy of a rich past and also has future prospects. There is no reason why Kolkata cannot be a city of future while preserving its culture. We have worked very hard to develop Kolkata.”

“You know it very well how the democratic system has been destroyed here. BJP will strengthen this system. We will bring the change to re-establish public belief in government systems, in the police, and the administration,” he said at the Brigade rally.

Continuing the attack at Mamata Government, the Prime Minister asserted that they made promises to work for 'Maa, Maati, Manush'. But you tell me, has TMC been able to bring change in the lives of common people here in the last 10 years? Those talking about Mati handed over every particle of Bengal to middlemen, black marketers and syndicates.


Reminding the people of Bengal about the brutality of the current government, the PM said, “You are well aware of the condition of 'Maa, Maati, Manush'. Mothers are being attacked on streets and in their houses. Recently, the cruelty unleashed on an 80-year-old mother has shown their cruel face to the entire country.”


Questioning Mamata Banerjee over nepotism, PM Modi said, “The people of Bengal had chosen you as Didi but then why did you remain the aunt of a nephew. Why you only concentrated on helping your nephew? The people of Bengal are asking only this one question from you.”


Taking a dig at Didi’s recent scooty ride, he said, “Didi, you are the daughter of India, not only of Bengal. When you took over Scooty a few days ago, everyone was praying that you be safe. It is good that you did not fall, otherwise the state in which the scooty was manufactured would have become her enemy.”


“The BJP believes not only on announcements, but also on rapid implementation of announcements. We try to do what is said within the time limit. Nowadays even our opponents say that I work for friends. Who we grow up with are our best friends. I grew up in poverty hence I understand the plight of poor people living in every corner of India. I work for my friends & will continue to do so,” he said.


“I am also working for my friends from Bengal. I have given nearly 90 lakh gas connections in Bengal to my friends. I have given free electricity connection to my over 7 lakh friends of Bengal living in darkness. I have built more than 60 lakh toilets-Ijjatghar in Bengal for my friends. I have approved more than 32 lakh pucca houses in Bengal for my friends,” added PM Modi while highlighting the schemes of the centre.


He added, “Corona disturbed all over the world, but it was these poor friends of mine who were very upset. When corona came, I gave ration to every friend for free, gave free gas cylinders and deposited crores of rupees in bank account.”


Urging people of Bengal to vote for the BJP, the PM Modi stated, “TMC ka khela khatam, Vikas shuru...vote for BJP fearlessly, vote against bad governance. These people are experienced people and play a lot. They have done innumerable corruption and looted the people of Bengal. They have even looted the relief money sent for Amphan. Vote against ill-governance and for freeing people of fear. Bengal wants development.”


He accused Mamata Government for tolabaazi, syndicate and commission cut. He said, “You have done so many scams that a 'Corruption Olympics' game can be organized. You have played with the hard-earned money of the people and their lives. You have pushed Bengal towards separation instead of development, and thus the lotus is blooming. You have divided people on religious lines, and thus the lotus is blooming in West Bengal.”

My dear companions from Kota and the entire Hadoti region, Namaskar once again.

Just last week, I had the opportunity to visit Rajasthan. From the sacred land of Ajmer, we inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for development projects worth thousands of crores of rupees. In that same program, appointment letters were handed over to more than 21,000 young people of Rajasthan. And now, only a few days after the Ajmer visit, today I have the privilege of launching this important airport project connected to Kota. Within a single week, these two major development programs in Rajasthan send a powerful message. They show how rapidly Rajasthan is progressing today. Whether it is infrastructure, employment opportunities for youth, schemes for farmers and women, or initiatives in every sector-work is happening at great speed across Rajasthan.

Friends,

Today is a day of new hope and achievement for Kota, Bundi, Baran, Jhalawar, and the entire Hadoti region. This modern airport, being built at a cost of around 1,500 crore rupees, will accelerate the development of the entire region in the coming years. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the people of Kota and Hadoti on the occasion of the foundation stone laying of this important airport project.

Friends,

I remember, when I came to Kota in November 2023, I made a promise to the people of Kota. I had said that the airport would not remain just a dream, but it would be turned into reality. Today, I am happy that the moment has arrived when the construction of Kota Airport is beginning. Until now, people of Kota had to travel to Jaipur or Jodhpur to catch flights. This consumed a lot of time and caused inconvenience. That situation is now going to change. Once this airport becomes operational, travel will become easier and trade will grow rapidly in Kota and the surrounding areas.

Friends,

Kota is not only a hub of education but also a major center of energy. It is a unique region where electricity is produced from almost all sources-nuclear, coal-based, gas, and water. The land of Hadoti is equally famous for its heritage. The taste of Kota Kachori, the elegance of Kota Doria sarees, and the shine of Kota stone and sandstone have earned recognition worldwide. The coriander from here, Bundi’s basmati rice-their aroma reaches international markets. This region is known for its hard work, production, and immense potential. Now, this new airport in Kota will multiply these possibilities many times over.

Friends,

The land of Kota and Hadoti is also a great center of enterprise and faith. For centuries, devotees from across the country and the world have been coming here to visit the sacred Mathuradheesh Ji Peeth, the Keshav Rai Patan pilgrimage, Khade Ganesh Ji Maharaj, and Godavari Balaji Dham. The view of Chambal from Garadia Mahadev mesmerizes everyone. Wildlife sanctuaries like Mukundra Hills and Ramgarh Vishdhari make this region a major hub of wildlife tourism. With increased air connectivity, tourists from across the country and the world will come here, directly benefiting the youth, traders, and the local economy.

Friends,

Kota is already rapidly advancing in connectivity. Under the Amrit Bharat Station scheme, both major railway stations of Kota are being equipped with modern facilities. The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, which passes through Kota and Bundi, is opening new doors of development for the entire region. Now, big cities like Delhi, Vadodara, and Mumbai are only a few hours away. With better road and rail connectivity, new industries are being established here. Especially for agro-based industries, this region will become a major hub. After rail and road, this new chapter of air connectivity will further accelerate Kota’s development. The Kota Airport will bring new opportunities of progress for the entire Hadoti region and nearby districts.

Friends,

I also want to appreciate the continuous efforts of Kota’s Member of Parliament, Shri Om Birla Ji, for this important project. His constant endeavor has been to improve the lives of the people of Kota and provide them with new opportunities. Whether it is the airport, the new campus of IIIT, or the expansion of roads, he has been working tirelessly for Kota’s development. It is because of his efforts that Kota and the entire region are witnessing new momentum in growth.

Friends,

Om Birla Ji is not only an excellent Member of Parliament but also a remarkable Speaker of the Lok Sabha. He is fully dedicated to the Constitution and deeply committed to parliamentary traditions. Today, he stands above party and opposition, embodying neutrality. When I see him in the House, I often feel that perhaps coming from the city of education has influenced his role as Speaker-he leads like a good head of the family, taking everyone along. He respects the feelings and requests of all Members of Parliament. He is a Speaker who naturally honors MPs the most. Even when some arrogant and disruptive individuals occasionally create disturbances, he manages everything with dignity, never insulting anyone, patiently enduring harsh words, and always smiling with warmth. Perhaps that is one reason why he is universally admired in the House.

Friends,

When connectivity increases, the speed of development also rises. In the past 11 years, new airports built across different parts of the country have given fresh momentum to growth. Before 2014, there were around 70 airports in the country. Today, that number has risen to more than 160. These new airports have made air travel easier, boosted tourism, created employment opportunities for youth, and accelerated regional development. Even around Delhi, several new airports have come up-Hisar, Hindon, Jewar. When new airports and terminals are built, new enterprises and companies reach smaller cities too. I am confident that Kota’s new airport will similarly give new momentum to the development of this region in the coming times.

Friends,

When the state government and the central government work together, when intentions are clear and determination is strong, the pace of development multiplies. That is exactly what is happening in Rajasthan today. This strong foundation of a developed Rajasthan is giving greater strength to the resolve of a developed India. I am fully confident that together we will succeed in building a Rajasthan that is prosperous, strong, and full of opportunities. With this belief, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all of you on this foundation stone laying ceremony. Thank you very much. Vande Mataram.
